Today was our first golf outing of the trip. Since Dee’s serious thumb injury last spring she had not played so we decided to play the Executive Golf course at Tupelo Bay. Tupelo Bay loves Canadians so much that they even fly the Canadian flag. Winter golf gloves and tuques were the required dress code for this morning as the temperature was 40 degrees Fahrenheit the sun was shining and by mid afternoon we were playing in just our golf shirts. For an executive course (3,200 yards) it was a good test for the short game and they had a few holes at more than 300 yards. The scores for both of us improved as the day progress.
On one hole there was a fence with PVC posts. The fence is in front of a water hazard (lake) . Dee was about 10 yards from the fence when she hit the ball and nailed the post cover which exploded in a few pieces. We found her ball logged inside the post! See the pictures below if you are sceptical!
In the parking lot of the golf course were Canadian Snowbirds. We are a real economic factor down here. There were 3 plates from Quebec and 1 from Ontario. Speaking of birds, I recognised 3 Canadian Geese from Renfrew on the golf course this afternoon and if they could drive there would have been more Ontario Plates in the parking lot.
Tonight we are going to see Nora Ann and Wayne from Ottawa. Dee and Nora Ann worked together at PWGSC before Nora Ann retired last January.
Ha, ha, bet you couldn't do that again if you tried Dee! Sounds like a great trip so far.
